🎃 **Kindness in the Midst of Spooky Season** 🎃
As Halloween draws near, it’s a time for haunted decorations and spooky vibes. But this Halloween, one neighbor showed us that a little compassion can light up even the darkest of seasons. 👻💙
Meet Salena Webb, a Halloween enthusiast and mom of four from South Carolina. She spent days setting up an elaborate graveyard scene in her yard, complete with skeletons, tombstones, and a casket. It was a labor of love, but when her neighbor came to her with a request, she showed just how much kindness can transform a situation.
Her neighbor, whose father had just been diagnosed with lung cancer, explained that the decorations were too unsettling for his elderly father, who often sat in his garage facing her yard. The sight of the casket was especially hard for him. Without hesitation, Salena agreed to remove the casket, understanding that her decorations—while festive—could cause more stress during a tough time.
Salena didn’t just stop there. She relocated the scarier pieces to the back and even gave the skeletons badminton rackets instead of carrying the casket, turning a spooky display into a more lighthearted one.
“I realized taking away the casket wouldn’t hurt me, but it might help my neighbor feel better,” she said in her TikTok post, sharing the touching moment with her followers. Many were moved by her selflessness, with some commenting: “Kindness doesn’t cost anything,” and others praising her for being a shining example of empathy.
Even after the change, Salena’s neighbor showed his gratitude in the simplest but most heartfelt way: he brought her a card and balloons, saying through a language barrier, “You’re good people.”
This Halloween, let’s remember that while the season is about thrills and chills, it’s also a perfect time to spread kindness and understanding. 🎃🖤
